Someone asked this question already and it was answered by @mrsbabyjacob and verified by an expert. Here’s there answer:

“Relaxation occurs when stimulation of the nerve stops. Calcium is then pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum breaking the link between actin and myosin. Actin and myosin returned to their unbound state causing the muscle to relax.”

Another person said they thought the answer was A.

Just don’t want you to accidentally waste your points when there are answers already :)

Answer:

C. The concentration of calcium in the myofibril must decrease.

Explanation:

As soon as the stimulus which causes myofibril to contract stops, its time for muscle to relax.  

A low calcium level in the sarcoplasm is the utmost requirement of muscle relaxation otherwise sliding of myosin will continue and muscle will keep on showing contraction. In order for muscle contraction, calcium ion i.e. Ca²⁺ must come out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum so for relaxation reverse process occurs i.e. Ca²⁺ is pushed back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. There are many pumps known as "calcium pumps" which facilitate this process. Now, the concentration of Ca²⁺ becomes comparatively low in the sarcoplasm which causes troponin C to detach from Ca²⁺. Their detachment causes actin and myosin to detach from each other too which finally leads to muscle relaxation.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Eye color depends upon the amount of melanin pigment in the eye.

Explanation:

  • The genes are located next to the OCA2 gene.
  • When the amount of melanin is in less amount in the iris, it causes change in eye color that may be grey, hazel or blue.

Which of the following groups of phase changes occur only when heat energy is removed or released from water.
Alex787 [66]

The answer is; B

When energy is removed from the water, it means that the molecules lose their energy and they move less kinetically. This way, the energy in the molecules cannot overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction and begin to come together. This causes the water to move from a higher energy phase to a lower energy phase (such as from gas - liquid -- solid).
